Jaffna Kings and Dambulla Aura will take on each other in Match 4 of the ongoing fourth edition of the Lanka Premier League (LPL 2023). The anticipated clash will take place in Colombo at the R. Premadasa Stadium.

Team Previews

Jaffna Kings

Jaffna Kings started their tournament in style as they beat Colombo Strikers in the first match of their 2023 campaign. The three-times champions are already looking strong for their fourth title in a row.

They were at their absolute best with both bat and ball. Bangladesh’s young batting sensation Towhid Hridoy announced himself with a half century. Additionally, it was an all-round performance from the bowlers to get the team across the line.

Captain Thisara Perera must be very happy to see the way Kings have started their 2023 season and will be hoping his team can carry on the winning momentum and make it two wins in a row against Dambulla.

Dambulla Aura

On the other hand, Dambulla Aura lost against Galle Titans in the first game of their campaign. It was a close game as the scores were level at the end of both innings. Unfortunately, Dambulla were in the receiving end as they fell agonizingly short in the super over.

Dhananjaya de Silva and Kusal Perera scored some tough runs as they managed to pull Dambulla out of some early trouble while chasing the 181-run target. Meanwhile, the bowlers had an average day and will be keen to be more disciplined on a surface like this.

Dambulla must be disappointed for not getting themselves across the line and will be looking to bounce back hard. Kusal Mendis and his men will be eyeing to beat a strong Jaffna side and open their account in the 2023 season.

Match Details

Date and Time: August 1st, 3:00 PM IST

Venue: R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo

Pitch Report: The surface at the venue for this match is a balanced one for a twenty-over game. Both batters and bowlers can expect help from the surface. There is not much for the new ball bowlers during a day match but finger spinners are likely to sustain their control in the middle overs. The team winning the toss should bat first as chasing on this surface would not be an easy task. The first innings score is expected to be around 175.
